CERTAINLY
Mar 20 – May 3, 2026
Opening: Thursday, Mar 19, 4pm – 7pm
CERTAINLY takes inspiration from artist-composer La Monte Young’s seminal 1960 instructional work Composition 1960 # 10, a score that consists of a single directive: “Draw a straight line and follow it.” What appears deceptively simple quickly reveals itself as more complicated — the line wavers, resists, and deviates, becoming a potent metaphor for creativity, decision-making, and the unpredictable forces that shape us.
In CERTAINLY, this conundrum becomes a catalyst for artistic experimentation, negotiating the space between control and freedom, planning and improvisation. The exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists whose practices respond, directly and obliquely, to this condition of uncertainty, embracing deviation as a generative force rather than a failure of control.
Across different media and approaches, each artist reflects on the impossibility of perfect predictions — and the creative space that emerges when systems, structures, and expectations begin to fracture.
La Monte Young, like his contemporaries John Cage, Nam June Paik, and Yoko Ono, blurred the boundaries between art, music, and daily life in the 1950s and 1960s, radically redefining what artistic practice could be. Their instruction-based works proposed that process, time, and lived experience were as significant as form or outcome. CERTAINLY, continues this exploration into the beauty of uncertainties.
Opening GOLD with CERTAINLY establishes the space from the outset as a contemporary Salon. Here, the “straight line” of institutional expectation is redrawn as a living conversation between art, culture, community and creative industries. The exhibition’s conceptual framework mirrors the founding philosophy of Serakai Studio; that meaningful cultural progress thrives on dialogue, experimentation, collaboration and openness to the unexpected.

Situated in the heart of Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong’s most innovative contemporary art district, GOLD positions uncertainty not as a limitation, but as a necessary condition for cultural spaces of the future. Housed at street-level in a former bank and jewellery shop, GOLD pays homage to its past while reimagining new possibilities for cultural spaces. Combining the curatorial depth of an institution with the agility of an independent organisation, GOLD functions as a cultural test lab — part exhibition space, part concept incubator, and part gathering point for creative exchange. Through a programme that brings together surprising combinations of art, fashion, music, design, and technology, GOLD reflects Serakai Studio’s conviction that culture flourishes where creative disciplines collide.
